Brookview Station Wine Tasting
Saturday after meeting up with my Ragnar Team and screen printing our team shirts, Loretta and I drove over to Schodack to visit Brookview Station Winery, located in Goold Orchards. I had a Groupon for the tasting that was about to expire so we wanted to check it out. The tasting room is located right in the main store at the back of the room. I had never been to Goold that I can remember, but it was like your standard little country store on an orchard! There was only one other group of people tasting wine, but I imagine that this place gets packed during prime apple picking season!…

Merry Christmas.
Is it just me or did Christmas come up so fast? I feel like I was running through the summer heat not that long ago! Anyway, I hope you all have a great Christmas!

I am THRILLED because my bibs and medals have been scattered all throughout my apartment. I finally have a place to hang them. Saturday my sister…

My 27th Birthday Roadtrip

Anyway, we got in town at around 5:30 and decided to go for a walk around Chris’ parents neighborhood to stretch our legs. We ended up stopping at a place for a birthday treat! The Cake and Cookie Spot had just opened recently and they had cute little cake shots! It was something I’ve never seen before so Chris and I got three to share. Chris got Oreo, I got the peanut butter cup,…

Ohh the Humidity
Oh boy, is it humid!! I just ran two miles on the treadmill (in my basement) and still I’m still dripping sweat!! I’m actually looking forward to the fall weather (never thought I’d say that) just for the cool running weather! And plus, I absolutely LOVE fall. It is my favorite season. 🙂 But let’s not wish the summer away just yet! After my run. Notice the runny mascara and messy hair. Eek! It looks like I ran more than two miles! One thing I haven’t mentioned on the blog yet is that I’ve been having some hip pain after lengthly runs. I first noticed the pain last friday, after…

The fiber bars that I usually find in stores that have this amount of calories usually have tons of additives and ingredients I cannot pronounce, so Gnu fiber bars were just what I was looking for....
